1. You're used to everyone questioning your age.
2. And not believing you when you tell them how old you are.
so I got gas today and I paid inside and the lady asked me how old I was, I said 16, and she said "you look so young! you look 12!"
3. You actually get ID'd all the time.
4. And even then no one believes you.
Did my real ID actually just get denied at APPLEBEES?? Out of all places that could turn me down because I look young..APPLEBEES? I AM LIVID
5. When you answer the home phone and someone asks to speak to "mummy or daddy".
6. At work everyone thinks you're on work experience.
7. You've been told off by strangers for bunking off school.
8. And you get some weird looks when buying alcohol.
I love the really rattled look people get when I buy alcohol, like why is this 12 year old purchasing beer and vodka
9. You've done your time and more at the kids' table.
10. Dating can be a little difficult.
11. And your looks can mean you end up in some weird situations.
Blew up my 16 year old nephews snapchat story and his friends asked if I was his Gf 🙄 #ilook12
12. You'll try everything to look older while your friends are trying to look younger.
i love when people say "you'll look so much older with shorter hair!" yea thanks for trying i still look 12
13. And they're always trying to give you a make over.
14. You're pretty much patronised constantly.
15. And people think it's acceptable to call you things like "sweetheart" and "buddy".
16. Your friends love coming up with babyish nicknames for you.
17. There are lots of perks though, like you can still get away with going trick or treating.
mom: you're too old to go trick or treating me: I AM NOT mom: yes you're 24 years old me: I LOOK 12 mom: ....… https://t.co/vEkEvyFYYE
18. You can get away with buying a child ticket for everything.
19. And the kids' menu you're always offered is a lot cheaper.
20. And kids' clothes are way cheaper too.
21. You rarely have to adult because you're never presumed to be one.
22. But hey, you’re ageing very well and you’ll probably look eternally fabulous!
